    BLTE !! Add egg to the traditional BLT for an extra protein hit!
    Debra S.

    Perfect place after an early morning bike ride and the BLTE hit the spot! ‍ A side of cottage cheese and I hit my protein quota.

    Pancakes, bacon, and a biscuit
    Mike K.

    While I know going to a place as highly regarded like this, you should try one of their well known items. I just went for the basic breakfast of pancakes,bacon and a biscuit. This place did all the regular items perfectly. The place was packed and for good reason. My service was great as I was consistently checked in on, checking in on food and water. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The environment of Boulder City and this diner are also beautiful in their own marks.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I needed a place to eat after visiting the Hoover dam and this place was perfect.

    It was out first time here. We came after our hike on a Saturday and it was a bit of a wait so we built our appetite before dining in. Thankfully the location was perfect since there was a lot to see around the area. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place looked cool with a ton of decorations of skis on the ceilings and a lot of photos on the wall.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Mind you when we dine in we're kind of easy because we order, eat, and leave. The service was good, we felt like we were taken care of and they were kind. We order the OG breakfast sandwich and the pork chili verde omelette. We came in really hungry so I thought it was going to hit the spot. My husband and I really tried to like the food but it just wasn't as flavorful as it looked. The croissant bread wasn't as buttery as we hoped for and since the pork chili verde omelette was seen on food network I had high hopes for it, just for it to taste bland. But I did enjoy the wheat toast. We were kind of disappointed because of all the good reviews this place has but it was at least a great experience to try it out.

    Stopped in for coffee. The menu is outstanding. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I loved the feel and vibe of this restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Spotless restrooms![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A gem!

    Papa con Chile Verde

    Delicious breakfast options with bottomless coffee in a cute downtown - what's not to like?? [[HIGHLIGHT]]Outside and inside are covered with travel kitsch which makes for fun photos.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food arrives hot, fresh, and filling - had the Papa Con Chili Verde - hash browns with green chile and cheese, pico de gallo and tortillas. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Be aware that there are limited bathrooms.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The downtown is very fun to walk around in with lots of shops and bars, and street parking is easy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Papa Con Chili Verde with hashbrowns and two eggs over-easy.
    Fat Man Reviews K.

    While visiting Las Vegas, the Fat Man and his wife took a drive out to the Hoover Dam and stopped off in Boulder City to try The World Famous Coffee Cup Cafe. This is a family-owned, family-run staple breakfast and lunch destination for locals and people around the globe. It has also been featured on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. I had the Papa Con Chili Verde with hashbrowns. This dish is made with Pork Chili Verde, cheddar cheese, pepper jack, pico de gallo, and flour or corn tortillas. I added an over-easy egg as well. The hash browns had a really nice crunch and good seasoning. The egg was cooked perfectly with a nice runny yolk. The cheese added some gooey texture, a little salt, and a bit of bite, while the peppers added a nice crunch to each bite. The pico also added a bright, fresh texture to the dish. The Pork Verde was beautiful, with great spice and juiciness, tender yet with a good chew. The entire dish works well together, and it was hard to stop eating it. I also sampled their biscuit with homemade gravy. The biscuit was light and airy with great texture, chew, and flavor. It was buttery and fresh. The gravy was seasoned really well, with big chunks of well-seasoned sausage that weren't overpowering, along with sage and other seasonings. The gravy was thick enough to stand up in its own, but not so thick that it had the consistency of glue. Perfect, flavorful, and amazing are about the only ways I could describe it. My wife had the B.L.T.E. on sourdough with home fries. This sandwich is served with bacon, lettuce, tomato, and egg. The sourdough was thick-cut and lightly toasted, with a light flavor, crunch, and great chew. The lettuce and tomato were fresh, bright, and both had a great texture. The eggs were well fried and seasoned. The bacon was medium-thick, cooked to perfection with crunch, chew, and a great salty flavor. The home fries came in a huge portion, were well seasoned, but were undercooked and had an unwanted crunch. They also came with grilled onions, which tasted good, but I'm not sure why they were put on top of the potatoes rather than cooked along with them. Coffee Cup has a full menu for both breakfast and lunch. They serve loads of burgers, wraps, sandwiches, plate meals, burritos, omelets, diner classics, and sides. They have a full bar and serve beer. The staff was extremely nice, and the service and food were quick. The Fat Man says that The Coffee Cup Cafe is Fat Man Approved with 3 chins.

    This place is incredible. So many delicious looking options that it was hard to choose what I wanted to eat. Everything we ordered was awesome. Super affordable prices too. I'm definitely coming back.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute breakfast joint in Boulder City.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was fast and friendly, no complaints about the food at all! I ordered the country fried steak, which was a big portion and tasted great. My favorite part of the breakfast was actually the toast though, it was thick and pillowy! The perfect piece of toast to go along with the coffee :)

    All stop here for the best "dam cup of coffee !"
    Susan R.

    The crowds, always crowds around this establishment! Wow it looks amazing! We are not even sure what's happening and all the fun and happy here ! Let's check it out ! The fun starts outside and to see that this is a great place to eat and enjoy together . How special! Since its inspection in 1994, they serve American eats and drinks. In fact it's the best Dam cup of coffee too. It's family owned . It obvious that it's great . It's so busy after you order you hear the order when it's ready over the loud speaker. How epic ? If you can, only by chance get a spot outside to dine it's great to watch all the bikes and cars that come across the street. Located on Main Street, this is the spot that they all stop and share their stories at. What an incredible experience here? We are outsiders and get involved it's very exciting. The coffee will make it all worth it . How about the decor of this place? Stickers from all over they paint a picture of the peace and harmony that indicates the stories others have shared here. So much rich history. Come and check it out.

    Love the interior decor especially during December this is my first time here we've never been inside before the times we come it's usually closed. The prices are very fairly priced and the pastries are made fresh daily. And they look amazing . The nitro cold brew with lavender is absolutely insane the lavender is so strong with i personally love the almond bear claw is next level. The staff was polite the place is very clean smells amazing and it's very warming and cozy. Love the place I'll be back for sure sooner than later. Keep up the hard work it shows.!!

    I finally stopped here for breakfast! It has gotten real popular since it was featured on Diners, Drive-ins & Dives. There was a line but got seated quickly since it was just me...the counter moves faster! My server was Danielle - even though they were busy she was super attentive. Actually everyone working the counter was great & cheerful. I always think the owners must be good to their staff when literary everyone working is smiling. I got the country omelette with the gravy on the side & coffee. The jalapeno peppers gave it a nice little punch of flavor. Highly recommend...so glad I finally stopped in!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's just a pleasure having breakfast or lunch at this very historic diner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Never disappoints. Tried the fish and chips this time and they were delicious. Always plentiful servings of fries. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Atmosphere is very American.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A must go to in Boulder City minutes to Hoover Dam. Still highly recommended. Service and staff are always top notch.

    Emily G.

    This spot is perfect for homey comfort foods! Please take into consideration wait times may be long. (I went on a weekend table for 2 was about a 35min wait.) luckily they have a bar where you can order mimosas and bloody Mary's from while you wait! The omelette here was delish.

    4/5 Pacific Diner is…read moreone of those places that feels like a real neighborhood diner rather than a cookie-cutter breakfast spot. It opened in Downtown Henderson's Water Street District as a family-owned restaurant, and I like that there's some actual history and community involvement behind the place. The owners even stepped up during COVID and opened a food pantry to help local families. Inside, it has a definite old-school UNLV/Rebels kind of vibe mixed with classic diner charm. The menu also has a little Hawaiian flair sprinkled in, reflecting the owners' love for Hawaii, with things like loco moco, an island breakfast and Huli-Huli chicken alongside the traditional diner favorites. This was my second visit, and the food has been very good both times. Today I had an egg-white veggie omelet and added chicken. It was really tasty, loaded with vegetables and cooked well. On my first visit I had the tuna sandwich, which is something restaurants manage to screw up surprisingly often, but theirs was delicious. My buddy ordered a double cheeseburger and fries, and the burger looked amazing. I got to steal a few fries and can confirm those were very good too. One of the best parts of Pacific Diner is the staff. Everyone we dealt with was pleasant, personable and genuinely fun to talk to. They happily answered our questions and had that friendly, caring personality you hope to find in a neighborhood diner. Prices are also very reasonable, especially compared with what breakfast and lunch cost at a lot of places these days. The one thing to be aware of is parking. This part of Downtown Henderson can get busy, and there are several nearby lots where you are NOT allowed to park unless you're visiting those particular businesses, with towing signs posted. If the street spaces immediately around the diner are full, just plan on spending a few minutes looking for a legal spot nearby. Overall, Pacific Diner has tasty food, good prices, genuinely friendly service and a lot more personality than your average breakfast place. We'll definitely be back again.
